How to submit
Process
All submissions are done via Moksha. We love to amplify voices from marginalized communities that are most impacted by climate change and other global problems. In fact, it's one of the key characteristics of solarpunk. If you are part of such a community then we strongly encourage you not only to submit your work, but also to include one or more of the following tags with your submission as part of your cover letter: #ownvoices #indigenous #globalsouth #bipoc #lgbtqia #actuallyautistic #neurodivergent #disabled #translation
Cover letters
A cover letter is not required. However, we appreciate a brief paragraph telling us a little bit about yourself like where you're from and why you love solarpunk. There is no need to include a third person bio. We will collect that and other needed info if your submission is accepted for publication.
Eligibility
No specific eligibility requirements
Formatting
Attach your stories, articles, or poems in .doc, .docx. or .pdf format. For fiction and nonfiction, please format your submission document as follows: double-spaced 12pt Times New Roman font indented paragraphs no extra space after paragraphs We prefer to read things in standard manuscript format.
Rights for published work
If we accept your work, we ask that you not publish it elsewhere or post it online prior to or within six months after publication in Solarpunk Magazine. For the rights we are asking for and other conditions, please see our publishing contract.
Additional info
You can enter one submission per category per submission period.
About the Magazine
Founded in 2021 | United States
The time for solarpunk has come, and the mission of this magazine is to become one of many important catalysts for an important and necessary revolution within both the literary world and our larger culture. The genre has been around since the early 2000s, but the current state of global affairs in the 2020s—from dismally apocalyptic climate reports to the global rise of authoritarianism, right wing extremism, xenophobia, male chauvinism, and white supremacy—means solarpunk has never been more vital to the evolution not only of human culture and society, but of all species and the entire planet.
